The ministry is considering further legislative and regulatory amendments that would strengthen smoking and e-cigarettes laws. The proposal is outlined below:

1. Expand "no smoking rules" to apply to medical marijuana;2. Prohibit the use of e-cigarettes - including the use of vaporizers to consume medical marijuana and testing in vape stores - in all enclosed public places, enclosed workplaces, and other specified outdoor areas; 3. Permit parents, guardians and caregivers to supply e-cigarettes to minors for medical marijuana purposes;4. Expand the definition of "e-cigarette" to include "e-substance";5. Expand the list of places where e-cigarettes are prohibited for sale;6. Establish rules for the display and promotion of e-cigarettes at places where they are sold.

If approved, this proposal would have a variety of impacts on the public, businesses and employers in Ontario. The ministry is interested in hearing from stakeholders about these impacts, and welcomes continued input.
